As luck would have it, after making our plans for our first visit to Savannah Niels and I were invited to a wedding there on Dec. 29. We were delighted at the prospect of returning after our first incredible visit. So we packed up again and this time stayed at the Westin, which sits on the opposite side of the Savannah River from the city. Our room, which was a treat to us from the bride and groom had a spectacular view and gave us a new perspective on the city that will one day become our home -- I hope.
Friday night was full of food and booze and old friends reuniting - and making me, the new girlfriend, feel incredibly welcome. Niels has a wonderful posse of pals that are colorful and warm.
Saturday morning we struggled to get out of bed and over to the Cobblestone Cafe, which we had noticed on our last trip serves breakfast all day long. What a dissapointment! Small, overpriced portions of really lousy food. The only upside were the visitor journals at each table that we got to read and add to.
Saturday night was the wedding, held at the famous Garibaldi's Seafood restaurant in the upstairs party room. It was so beautiful and warm and cozy a setting, I'm suprised more folks didn't wind up tying the knot! The ceremony, performed by Eric (aka Sleazy E) was short, sweet and genuine. The food was fantastic and the dancing was delightful. It was a great party and the vibe was loving and connected.
Sunday, unfortunately, came too soon. And it brought with it some hangovers and general traveling melancholy. We were sorry to leave old/new friends, Savannah and a great time.

On the ferry from the Westin to the city. That dude is so in awe of my awesomeness. Happens all the time.
The Reverend Sleazy (Eric) and West Coast Amit on the ferry. Eric was ordained by an online site to perform the wedding.
Getting goofy on the ferry landing.
Niels peruses the visitor journal at the Cobblestone Crap-fe.
It's like I knew the food would suck. Just look at that pinched face!
Garibaldi's was a perfect setting for the wedding.
Sleazy and Niels show off their sophisticated sides.
